The members of the organiza-
ton of the Grand Army of the
Republic and Manager Miller are
alike pleased at the large and ap-
preciative audience that greeted
the first performance of the great
war drama Dixie at the city hall,
1t is seldom that SO large an audi
ence are universal in bestow-
ing praise and showering encomi-
ums upon each scene and act, as
the rapidly changing panorama
was presented to view last night.
Not one word of disapproval was
heard-all pronounced it the
grandest drama ever witnessed in
this city. To have undertaken to
improve on the cast would have
been folly, while the stage make
ups were perfection. Bert Miller
who has been raised on The stage,
made numerous hits in his sever
al characters of "Nlikel O'Honey,"
"Elijah Jamerson" and "Biddie
Mahoney," the Irish scout and
spy of the Chickamauga, while
Miss Zeffie Greene as "May Meri-
ton," a southern belle and again
as "Mary Ann McGinty," the fe-
male spy of Tennessee, is most
clever and captivating lady, whose
appearance on the stage is always
greeted with loud applause. G.
Maynard as "Ned Pelton," young
Sontherner, could not have been
cast better, his voice is distinct,
his accent excellent and his repre-
sentation of character true to the
letter. Nelson Boyd in his repre-
sentation of the character of "Tom
Markham" a stewart and again as
lieutenant and scout, is clever and
we'll received. The six tableaus
are simply grand, nothing ever
seen on a Chillicothe stage car
compare with them. They are
"The Soldiers Farwell," Prayer
of Vengeance" Emancipation,
"The old Flag" columbia Weep.
